The shooting had barely stopped at his synagogue, but Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein wrapped his bleeding fingers in a prayer shawl, and spoke to his congregation
Moments after a gunman opened fire in Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein's synagogue, as his friend lay dying in the lobby, he wrapped his arm and bleeding fingers in a prayer shawl, stood on a chair and spoke to his congregation.
"We are a Jewish nation that will stand tall. We will not let anyone or anything take us down. Terrorism like this will not take us down," the rabbi recalled saying, speaking to reporters a day after the shooting at Congregation Chabad.As he recovered from surgery in the hospital, one of his index fingers blown off by the gunman's rifle, he again had a message he needed to share.
Rabbi injured in shooting: Why was my life spared? 01:35An armed off-duty Border Patrol agent, who had recently started worshiping at the synagogue after discovering his Jewish roots, chased after the shooter, the rabbi said. "After the shooter left, this terrorist left, I turn around to assess the situation. And I walk into the lobby and see Lori laying on the floor unconscious," he said, stricken with grief. Kaye's husband tried to give her CPR and passed out next to her.
